This air dehumidifier works on the basis of the condensation

principle.

Room air is sucked through a filter and a refrigerating element

where water vapour in the air condense as water droplets.

Then, the water droplets flow into a condensation water bowl

and further into the water container while the dried cold air is

piped through the condenser of the device, heated and blown

again into the room. The temperature of the blown out air is

approx. 2-5 °C above the room temperature. This increase of

heat is caused by power introduced in the compressor and fan

and by heat which is released by the condensation of the

water vapour.

The relative humidity of air is gradually reduced thanks to

continuous recirculation of the room air through the device

resulting in a quick and gentle drying of the room.

L Water vapours move easily and unhindered through the

air. Therefore, it is essential to “seal” the room as tight as

possible. That means doors and windows must kept

closed and entering and leaving the room should be

restricted if possible. Otherwise the drying efficiency of

the device is considerably impaired.

Location

If possible, the air dehumidifier should be placed in the middle

of the room in order to have a good air circulation in the whole

room.

If this is not possible, locate the air dehumidifier so that air can

be sucked and discharged unhindered.

Keep a minimum distance of 10 cm to walls.

Place the air dehumidifier

⇒ horizontally to ensure that the condensed water can flow

off unhindered

⇒ away from a heat source (e.g. a radiator).

L Make sure that windows and doors of the room to be

dehumidified are closed.

Electric supply

Compare the voltage listed on the device’s type plate, e.g.

230 V / 50 Hz, with the mains voltage and connect the air

dehumidifier to a suited and and properly earthed electrical

socket.

Use an electrical socket with a rated voltage of 230 V with

a fault-current circuit breaker (30 mA).

Before starting up

Did you transport the air dehumidifier in horizontal position or

at an angle large than 45°?

L Allow the device to stand in vertical position for at least

one hour.

L Notes

1. The air dehumidifier will not work if the set humidity value

is higher than that of the environment.

2. Only use the air dehumidifier at a room temperature

between 5 °C and 32 °C. The air dehumidifier will not

function out of this range.

3. Do not operate the air dehumidifier in heavily dust-laden

or chloric atmospheres.

4. Once the compressor has been started the fan motor and

the compressor must run for at least 3 minutes during

dehumidification. To prevent damages to the compressor,

you should wait for 3 minutes after a shut-down of the air

dehumidifier before you restart the device.

5. If the room temperature is under 10 °C and the relative

humidity of the ambient air is rather low an operation of

the air dehumidifier will not be necessary.

14

6. The device’s air dehumidification performance depends on

room design, room temperature and relative humidity of

the room air.

7. Drain the container when it is full. Then, reinsert the empty

water container so that the device can work again.

8. Tranport this device only in upright (vertical) position.

9. If the device does not work or if the operation is suddenly

interrupted for unknown reasons, ¨ see “Possible faults“.

10. When the air dehumidifier is in operation the compressor

generates waste heat and the room temperature slightly

increases. This is considered a normal process.

Fault code

If the fault codes E3 – E4 – E5 are indicated in the “RH

display” ¨ see “Possible faults”.

Start-up

L An acoustic signal will sound if you connect the power

cable to an electrical socket.

A fault has occurred when this acoustic signal does not

sound. Check the power supply cable, the electrical

socket and the fuse.

Powering up

Press the button to switch on the power to the air

dehumidifier.

The display 2 ¨ “RH of air” indicates the factory-set humidity

of air of 60 %. After 5 seconds the display indicates the actual

humidity of air.

The “RH” display indicates the humidity of air in a range

between 30 % and 90 %.

Shutting down

Press the button again to switch off the power to the air

dehumidifier.

Setting the humidity value

Press the button (Increase the RH setting) or

(Reduce the RH setting) to set your desired relative humidity

of air.

If the set RH value is lower than 30 %, the device will

continuously dehumidify and the indicator 2 displays “CO”.

 Hint: Normally, a relative humidity of air between 50 %

and 60 % is sufficient to have a convenient indoor

climate and to prevent condensation on structural

components and furnishing.

L If your desired RH value is lower than the actual RH by

3 %, the air dehumidifier will automatically start

(compressor). The

icon (dehumidification) is

continuously displayed.

If your desired RH value exceeds the actual RH by 3 %,

the air dehumidifier will automatically shut down

(compressor). The

icon (dehumidification) is flashing.

Automatic defroster

At a room temperature under 20 °C not only condensation

water is generated on the cold evaporator surface, but also

ice. This ice blocks the heat exchanger so that the air flow is

impeded. The built-in automatic defroster removes the ice

from the evaporator. This allows a dehumidification operation

down to a temperature of +5 °C.

During defrosting, the icon is displayed on the display, the

compressor continues to run, the fan is automatically stopped.

Once the defrosting process is finished the air dehumidifier

returns to the dehumidification mode and the

icon turns

off.

Operating hour counter

The air dehumidifier is equipped with an

operating hour counter.

The number of hours during which the device was in operation

in the past is displayed after the dehumidifier is turned on. The

amount of time during which the device remains on will be

added to the already elapsed time.

The water collecting container of the air dehumidifier is

equipped with a float switch which turns off the device when

the collecting container is full.

L After 45 seconds, compressor and fan will automatically

stop, and an acoustic signal will sound. The

icon and

the fault code E4 will be displayed.

Another acoustic signal will sound every 5 minutes if the

water collecting container is not immediately emptied.

Removing the water collecting container

1. Turn off the device.

2. Press on the hinged cover (1)

and open it then .

3. Remove the container (pos. 2) and empty is immediately.

4. Re-insert the container. When inserting put the draining

hose (3) into the water collecting container. Make sure that

the container is correctly positioned.

5. Close the hinged enclosure cover.

6. Restart the air dehumidifier. The

icon and the fault

code E4 should no longer be displayed.

Icon and fault code are further displayed? Remove the

container again and re-insert it properly.

Continuous or extended operation

In the case of a high humidity of air it is recommended to

operate the air dehumidifier in continuous mode. In continuous

mode it is not needed to empty the water collecting container.

Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the water collecting container from the device.

2. Put the draining hose (3) through the hole

in the

enclosure and pull it out of the device on the other side

.

3. Re-insert the collecting container in the device.

4. Close the hinged enclosure cover.

5. Place a large collecting container below the water draining.

Or:

Extend the water draining using a garden hose to pipe the

water into a drain channel.

16

L Pay attention to the following:

@ Make sure that the water can flow out

unhindered.

@ Pipe the water preferably to a drain which is

positioned at a lower level.

@ Make sure that the hose remains in its position,

is routed with a descending gradient, is not

kinked or wound up.

Always transport the air dehumidifier in upright (vertical)

position to prevent compressor damages.

 Hint: If you have transported the air dehumidifier in

another than upright position (horizontal or tilted),

allow the air dehumidifier to stand in upright position

for at least one hour before starting it up.
